Didja know?

Johannes Gutenberg: Gutenberg, a German, along with his partner Johannes Fust, was credited for creating the first moveable type printing press in the mid-15th century. His most famous work was the 42-line bible (the Gutenberg bible), which looked as though a scribe had created it due to its hand-drawn illustrations. This invention led to widespread distribution of newspapers, books and journals, leading to a more-educated society, and aiding in the spread of humanist thought and Protestantism, to name a few.
